Matt, John, thanks to you both.

I am in the process of creating a new template, and in so doing am 
sticking to a particular naming convention.  One way or another I ended 
up with a new or newly named tag for the table footnotes, and it did not 
have the Frame Above set to anything.  Once you and the other listers 
pointed out the use of Frame Above, I was able to verify its presence in 
FM's default tag, and its absence in my new tag.  Adding it to the 
definition and playing with the height of the frame on the ref. page has 
done the trick.

Thanks again to all who replied,
